Quick question about the optional driver box for the V44 , does it have peak and hold drivers for four injectors in it or is it just a resistor box to limit current if you use low impedance injectors ?

It would be nice if the V44 was available with the 10a peak and hold drivers , can they be a special order that way ?

I can't get into their forum or I'd ask there .

Cheers Adrian .

one little quibble I have with this ecu is the fact you cant select between low/high impedance injectors as you can with many of the other higher end ecu's

are there any explanations for this?

you can with the v88...its only the plug-in boards that have this feature missing.

a solution may be on the cards for this issue

Cool I will look forward to hearing more but for now I'm just going to use a resistor pack.

oh ok good to know!

With the vipec plug in, does it use the V44 boardin your standard casing? also will it support standard GTR injectors, because from what i read, it has some problems with low and high impedance using resistors. because if my afm are buggered im seriously considerign getting on of these, but only if itll run with a stock car once tuned.

Yes, yes, no and yes.

This ecu has been given the honour of being named the "Best ECU" in the latest "Best of the best" High Performance Imports magazine.

The real engine management "leckies" would know for sure but my research leads me to believe that the peak and hold circuitry is different to the saturated system .

PH injectors I believe tend to be low resistance high current ones where saturated ones tend to be high resistance low current .

I've been told the quick dirty method of running high current injectors in a saturated system is to splice in the resistors but you don't have the peak and drop current to snap open and hold the pintle pin like a PH system does .

I did actually speak to Ray Hall and his response is that the V44 is aimed at a price sensitive market segment and I gather to be price competitive had to sacrifice the peak and hold injector drivers and go with the more common trend towards saturated injectors .

Please do NOT make the blind assumption that I'm saying the product is cheap and nasty , the trouble is that so many buy everything on price and if it was made in Xxxxx and sold for $4.99 lots'd buy it .

Something I did read in Honda circles is that someone out there is making good reliable 1000cc saturated injectors and apparently they at times work allegedly better than existing PH ones .

My problem was that getting "affordable" hose barb/tail saturated injectors is not too easy where PH or high current ones are easy and cheap . No good for a wire in V44 though .

My answer could be to use Mazda Rotary turbo O ring injectors and machine shallow rings into them for the short length of rubber fuel hose to bite into under the clamp .

If I could buy a V44 with PH drivers/circuitry I'd do that so Guilt - spill the beans .

He can't "spill the beans" but lets just say the Vi-PEC is evolving. This has been deemed necessary to completely separate the product from another one similar. A lot of the Vi-PEC intellectual property will cease to exist on the similar item. The Vi-PEC brand will be regarded as a world leader in ecu technology and needs its own identity to achieve this. I am of the belief that a lot of features are being held back until the evolution is complete.

I already think i may have said too much...enough for now.

Maybe i should wait for it to evolve and then pick it up with all the gucci stuff.

the chipset will be no different...its just a firmware upgrade and new tuning software if you have already have a Vi-PEC.

The whisper is the new tuning software is the ducks nuts.

I really should STFU...lol

You can call it want you want but the vipec engineers are still the same bunch of engineers that work at Link electro systems NZ. Its funny you call it "Vi-PEC intellectual property" but then there was nothing wrong with giving Link an sm4 plus someone elses "intellectual property" data and telling them to pull it apart and do better.

This does mean the worlds leading ecu will still be made and designed by link in NZ with a few wants put into it by vipec. Do you think Link would want their ecu disadvantaged over the vipec "version" This would take a good sum of money to pass into links hand as remember its them doing the building and designing with wants from vipec. Vipec cant and doesn't make ecus !

Also remember there are ecu's out there that make Link g4/vipec ecu's look very very simple and always will, a vipec will never be the "best" or have the best best technology compared to the likes of pectel or life racing ect...

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
